Southwest Plant Selector

By Learning Games Lab, NM State University

Description

Southwest Plant Selector is the only app of expert-recommended xeric landscape plants specifically for New Mexico, El Paso, and surrounding areas. All plants in this app thrive on little or no supplemental water and are typically both available and used in regional xeriscapes.

Browse through a database of hundreds of 700+ plants or search based on specific criteria. Each plant includes photo(s) and relevant information on use and care. Mark your “favorites” for quick access at the nursery or in your yard.

Gold winner (2013) in the interactive media program category, awarded by the Association for Communication Excellence in Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Life and Human Sciences.

Southwest Plant Selector is the result of a cooperative effort between the Center for Landscape Water Conservation and the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer and was developed for iTunes by New Mexico State University Media Productions.

Just What I Was Looking For

by

Wow, I am working on my back yard and this is just the app I've been looking for. I can tell that I will be using this app quite a bit. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is it would be nice to have the zones for each plant. I have several different micro-zones and having the zone info would be helpful.It is nice to have an app for New Mexico plants!! Thank you!

I love this app!
